Not bad for a heavy quad. Mine ended up about 1.5kg without the fpv gear. I can fly upto 13 minutes but thats pushing it 9 to 10min is doable. Ive have been using my 5000mah 4s packs but I probably need to get some 4s 4000mah to get it on the lighter side.

I must have missed that. After my radian pro crashed for losing signal, 2K feet up and a mile out lost radio signal but not video so watching a crystal clear 2K death spiral is something I didn't want to do again. So I switched to a Thomas scherrer system for my radian and my large quad/UAV.

I can see his point with starting with proven 72 MHz stuff. I don't currently plan on flying great distances with FPV but I'm sure that will change. Baby steps. Though I haven't had any issue with the Quad flying on 2.4 control I haven't pushed the distance very far. I really want to get a fixed wing up on FPV but I refuse to do it again without a better control system. With limited funds I have to pick my upgrades wisely. I don't like being tied to the truck so I think the next upgrade will be a screen. After that either 72 MHz gear or a new FPV plane. The Easy* is a great bird but mine is beat up and I'd like more room. I'll also keep an eye out for a higher power 900 MHz Tx as the 1.5 watt really impressed me this past weekend. Clear picture even behind trees and buildings with the stock antenna's. Crazy.

Above all else I want to be safe and preserve the privilege to fly at 3O for everyone. Tooling around FPV with the Quad will keep me happy until I acquire more stuff.

Nothing wrong with those. I find I order from known vendors here in the states lately. Can't say enough good things about ReadyMade, Atlanta Hobbies, and several others. I also found several things I needed at Debbie's on Fri. The Nitro Planes T28 should be flying in a few weeks.

That a pretty cool frame, here's mine I have comming http://www.AeroQuadStore.com/AeroQua.../aqarf-002.htm. Once it gets here that will bring my multi count to 4. NL650 (DARPA bird), custom micro quad, X8 DJI clone, then the typhoon.
Get the goggles instead of a sceen, much better to fly with. I second readymaderc ALL my FPV gear, except the 10x zoom camera for my DARPA bird, came from readymaderc.

Lets talk about that in greater detail next time your at 3O.
Perhaps I can take a look at your system.
I have an extreme near miss
